BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS

Focusing

Use focus mode dial

26

(6008 AF) to

change over between autofocus (single AF
– “sing“ – or continuous AF – “cont“) and
manual focusing (“man“).

Autofocusing: Single AF (6008 AF)

Place the focus area on the ground-glass
screen over the subject to be focused (see
illustration) and slightly depress the shutter
release. Your AF lens will now focus auto-
matically. To repeat focusing, release the
shutter button and again press it lightly.
Your subject has been detected as soon as
only the center icon of the focus indicator
appears.

If the three components of the focus indi-
cator are blinking, automatic focusing is
impossible. In this case, place the focus
area on a more contrasty and better tex-
tured subject at the same distance and
focus on the latter. If necessary, focus
manually.
